What's After This? with Business Career Services

On this episode, we sit down to catch up with Destiny Rider, a 2019 alumna of the WCOB with a degree in economics. Right after graduation, Destiny took a job with a small marketing startup in Durham, NC and has so many excellent things to share from her experience in just a short amount of time.  Destiny is the definition of a go-getter and shares encouragement for those who are just not sure what they really want in their first job right after graduation. 

On this episode, I sit down with Scott Truong, a 2017 alumni of the WCOB with degrees in CIS and SCM.  During our conversation, Scott encourages students to really concentrate on their transferable skills as they finish their degree and start their new roles. He has some great insight to share with a contagious enthusiasm!

Today on the podcast I sit down with Jabari Myles, a 2017 graduate of the WCOB with degrees in economics and computer information systems.  Today, Jabari is a Data Scientist for Red Hat in Raleigh, and before that he was a consultant for SAS.  In this episode, he talks about how he uses his degree today and gives some insight to industries in need of economists - enjoy this conversation with Jabari!

Hi folks! And welcome back to the What’s After This? Podcast with Business Career Services.

This podcast is a chance for us to sit down with employers, recruiters, alumni, and other friends of the Walker College of Business to talk about and answer your questions about What is after your time with us here in the WCOB. Thanks for joining us, and we hope this will give you some insight as you consider what is next.

Today on the podcast, I sit down with 2019 alumna Alia Dahlan.  Alia is a financial analyst for Barclays in Manhattan.  Barclays is one of the top 10 largest investment banks in the world and is similar to some other names you may have heard like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley.  When Alia was a student not that long ago, she took advantage of nearly everything that the WCOB had to offer her - she was a Walker Fellow, Holland Fellow, member of the Bowden Investment Group, member of the Women of Walker, and so many more things. She has some great advice for folks new to the workplace as she has just completed her first year working with her team partially in her office in time square as well as remotely for several months now.  In this episode she gives new employees some advice about connecting with their team, but I will let her tell you more about that herself.  So, without further ado, here is my conversation with Alia.
Tips from Alia:

1. Know how your team likes to be communicated with.
2. Get to know your team first thing - it's awkward if you try to do it later.
3. Never be afraid to ask questions.

Today on the podcast, I sit down with Krystal Donohue, a sales and management recruiter for United Rentals.  She has worked for United Rentals for quite some time and has held several roles there.  During our conversation, Krystal was kind enough to talk us through some of the most minute details of the interview and virtual interview process.  She spoke to the types of things she likes to see on LinkedIn, what she likes to hear in an interview, what she doesn’t like to see when interacting with a candidate and so much more.  If you are finding yourself scared for your first interview or preparing for your thousandth interview, I know you’ll find something helpful in what she has to say.  So, without further ado, here is my interview with Krystal.
